ftilt- I very rarely use this attack. Sometimes it can be good to use against an opponent that's standing near the edge. It'll be just enough to shove them off- either knocking them onto the ledge if they shield, or setting them up for a spike if it hits. It can also be used against airdodgers sometimes because of how longlasting its hitbox is.

Also, it's very dangerous if shielded because it moves your body at your opponent. Just something to keep in mind.

Its something to switch up your gameplay, and it has decent range if I may say, it can catch your opponent off guard as well, setting up for some combos.

it is nolimars only kill move

I love it; its fast off the draw (a bit of post lag) and has decent knockback. I think the real power comes a few frames after he kicks too, which it a bit surprising. I may be wrong though

Ftilt is a very underused move with Olimar. I have been trying to incorperate it into my playstyle, myself. The best time to use ftilt is when you are in the middle of what I call "dodge dancing"; when you and your opponent are locked in close combat, trying to dodge and catch a window for attack or grab. Ftilt comes out very quickly and has suprising priority, capable of going toe to toe with the jabs and tilts of most other characters.

Ftilt is fun. I don't use it much, but it can end combo's sometimes and it's rather quick. It seems as fast as his jab but with higher priority, although I could be wrong there. It also seems to last a while so you can hit annoying spotdodgers with it :D
